Dr. Marilyn Kay joined the UW Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences in 2012 as a visiting associate professor. Dr. Kay was quickly promoted to associate professor in 2013.

Dr. Kay received her doctor of medicine from Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

Dr. Kay is a devoted teacher and physician, and she will be greatly missed.
I absolutely loved and looked forward to my clinic days with Dr. Kay. Her depth of experience and knowledge truly enriched my time in Madison. I also appreciated the time she took to talk to me about things outside ophthalmology. She will be missed by her patients, residents and colleagues. I wish her the absolute best! – Tyler Boulter, MD, Chief Resident, Class of 2022
Dr. Kay has been a great mentor and educator for the residents, and we will miss her quick wit and guidance while managing challenging cases. Enjoy retirement! – Paige Richards, MD, Resident, Class of 2022
